Press Clips December 14, 2013 Flames-Sabres Preview Associated Press December 13, 2013 Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips December 14, 2013 Flames-Sabres Preview Associated Press December 13, 2013 Though the Calgary Flames recently had two major off-ice departures, a pair of key additions on the ice could help them continue to turn things around. A game after Curtis Glencross returned, the Flames could be getting Sean Monahan back Saturday when they seek their first road win over the Buffalo Sabres in almost 18 years. Calgary's latest game came hours after president of hockey operations Brian Burke fired general manager Jay Feaster and assistant John Weisbrod on Thursday. Burke took over as interim GM. Though the moves came as a shock to most of the team, the Flames (12-15-4) responded by winning for the fourth time in six games, 2-1 in overtime over Carolina. Karri Ramo made 29 saves and denied the Hurricanes' Jeff Skinner on a penalty shot in the third period before defenseman Chris Butler scored the winner. "We reacted the right way (to the front-office shakeup). A lot of things in the game are out of your control," said enforcer Brian McGrattan, who scored the Flames' first goal. "You can only control the things that you do and that's how hard you work and how good your attitude is." Glencross, who has five goals and four assists in 16 games, returned from a 15- game absence due to a knee injury. Calgary could be getting another key player back as early as Saturday. Monahan appears close to a return after getting back on the ice earlier this week. The 2013 first-round draft pick ranks second among rookies with nine goals despite being out since Nov. 27 due to a broken foot. The short-handed Flames have produced only 17 goals over their last eight games, but they've gotten a much-improved effort in their own end. They allowed an NHL-high 3.64 goals per game through the first 25 but have given up nine in the past six. Ramo has gone 3-1-0 with a 1.48 goals-against average in his last four starts, while Reto Berra has turned away 52 of 55 shots in two starts this month. It's uncertain who will get the nod in the first of back-to-back contests to open a five-game road swing, though either player should have a good chance to earn the team's first victory in Buffalo since March 15, 1996. Calgary has gone 0-5-3 with one tie - losing eight straight by a 28-12 margin - in its last nine visits. NHL-worst Buffalo (7-23-2), however, has scored 54 goals - by far the fewest in the league this season. The Sabres have been especially inept in the offensive zone of late, scoring 14 times while losing nine of 11. They finished with a season-high 41 shots Thursday but only Tyler Ennis could convert in a 2-1 loss at Ottawa. Ennis has scored in three of his past four games. "We just gotta get maybe a little bit more net presence for some of those shots to take away the eyes of the goaltender so he can't see it as well," interim coach Ted Nolan told the team's official website. "But overall, the guys are competing and they're working." Leading scorer Cody Hodgson is expected to be a game-time decision due to an undisclosed ailment that forced him out Thursday. Buffalo's Ryan Miller has gone 2-2-0 with a 1.98 GAA in his last four starts. The Sabres have won two of three at home after winning twice in their first 14 games there. Surge in shots gives Sabres sign of hope By Amy Moritz Buffalo News December 14, 2013 In the end, it looks like another 2-1 loss, an all-too common result for the Buffalo Sabres. The result in Ottawa on Thursday marked the 11th time in 32 games that the Sabres scored just one goal. But consider the Sabres threw a season-high 41 shots on Senators goaltender Craig Anderson. They generated breakaways, odd-man-rushes and plenty of scoring opportunities. The feel of the game, and the feel in the room, was remarkably different than after all those other one-goal performances. It was an encouraging performance with a frustrating outcome, but one that seems to have the Sabres in a good state of mind heading into today’s 2 p.m. game with the Calgary Flames at First Niagara Center. “We’re seeing signs of a different team as of late with the work ethic and the process that we’re sticking to,” captain Steve Ott said. “Obviously we didn’t get the results we wanted to accomplish but all in all very encouraging with our play. Most nights you play like that you’re gonna win.” In the last two games, the Sabres fired off 77 shots on goal with only two finding the back of the net. But the shots on goal are progress. Heading into Thursday’s game, the Sabres had been averaging just 25.5 shots a game. You can’t score if you don’t shoot. The shots are finally starting to come and with them opportunities just begging to be finished. “Earlier in the season we weren’t getting any chances,” said Tyler Ennis, who led the team with seven shots and scored the only goal on Thursday. “We were just getting outplayed flat out and not generating much. Now, we’re generating a lot. We’re outplaying teams. When you’re getting chances and the puck’s not going in, it’s a lot better than when you’re not getting chances.” “There’s a lot of positives you can take from it because you are getting the chances,” said Drew Stafford, who had six shots. “It’s frustrating on the other hand. We’re not burying it. That’s costing us wins. But the bottom line is there’s a good feeling in here because we’re making progress and we’re competing and the work is there. Earlier in the year, we didn’t feel we were in a lot of games. Now, we’re definitely getting closer.” Closer yes, but how do they finish? How do they turn those opportunities into results? Since he took over as interim coach, Ted Nolan has discussed his vision of the building process. It started with living the ideas of trust and accountability. The next step was being competitive throughout the lineup on a consistent basis. Next up – get pucks to the net. Check. Now it’s about getting traffic in front of the net to create more and better chances to score from rebounds, second efforts and deflections. “There’s a point where you start getting shots and there’s a point of how do we get the shots past the goaltender,” Nolan said. “We have to get more net-front presence. Every goaltender in this league is pretty good. So we have to make sure we set some screens in front and make it a little bit tougher for the goaltender. “I know it’s a little bit late in the season to start doing that, but it’s where we are right now. The first thing is to get some trust in the players and get them to compete at a certain level. Then you get them to shoot some pucks at the net. Then you can’t just shoot it, you have to shoot with a purpose and get some screens. You have to start jamming the net. Drew Stafford is starting to get those chances now. We’ve just got to get some people in front of the net and good lord willing the puck will start going in.” Sabres notebook: Flames’ volatile season mirrors Buffalo’s By Amy Moritz Buffalo News December 14, 2013 The Calgary Flames may not be the West Coast doppelganger of the Buffalo Sabres, but the two clubs certainly have some things in common. Both are struggling to find ways to win as the Flames find themselves second from the bottom in the NHL’s Western Conference while the Sabres are in the basement of the Eastern Conference. Both have struggled to be playoff teams. And both are now searching for general managers. While the Sabres are a month into the new regime with Pat LaFontaine as president of hockey operations and Ted Nolan as interim coach, the Flames come to Buffalo for today’s 2 p.m. game at First Niagara Center just a few days into their GM search. Brian Burke, Calgary’s president of hockey operations, fired GM Jay Feaster and assistant GM John Weisbold on Thursday. Burke challenged the Flames to play more aggressively. The Flames failed to hold a third-period lead in their game Thursday with Carolina, but they did come back to earn an overtime win. It was Chris Butler who scored the game-winner with an assist from Paul Byron – both former Sabres who were traded to Calgary in the summer of 2011 for Robyn Regeher and Ales Kotalik. “It was a tough morning,” Butler said after Thursday’s game. “Obviously, kind of surprising when Burke comes down to the locker room and delivers that type of news. Jay’s been such a good guy to all of us here. It’s tough to see a guy like that go. He’s pretty responsible for bringing a lot of guys in. We certainly wish him the best, and it’s nice to get a win today.” ..

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 4, 2014 Devils-Sabres Preview By Nicolino DiBenedetto Associated Press January 4, 2014 The Buffalo Sabres may own the fewest points in the NHL, but they've hardly resembled the league's worst team lately at home. Ryan Miller has had a hand in that success. Miller will likely be in net looking to win a sixth straight home game, as the Sabres face the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Buffalo (11-26-4) not only has the worst record in the league, its average of 1.63 goals ranks last - 0.60 behind Minnesota for 29th. The Sabres fell 4-1 at Minnesota on Thursday, losing their 11th straight on the road. "It's just one of those things where when we're bad, we're bad," interim coach Ted Nolan said. They've been very good at home, however, going 5-0-1 in their last six home games. They're averaging 2.75 goals to win four straight there for the first time since a five-game streak from Feb. 19-March 12, 2012. Miller has been superb at home, compiling a 1.34 goals-against average and .962 save percentage while winning his last five games in Buffalo. He last won six straight there from Nov. 13-Dec. 9, 2010. Miller, named to the U.S. Olympic team earlier this week, may have a chance to equal that run since he's 4-1-1 with a 1.60 GAA and a shutout over his last six home meetings with the Devils (17-17-8).

The past two playoff series between the Bruins and Maple Leafs have culminated in unprecedented Game 7 drama, both occurring at TD Garden. In 2013, Boston became the first team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal, third-period deficit to win a Game 7 (Boston 5, Toronto 4 ,OT). In 2018, the Bruins became the first team in League history to overcome three deficits of at least one goal to win a Game 7 in regulation (Boston 7, Toronto 4). Five current Bruins appeared in both the 2013 and 2018 contests: goaltender Tuukka Rask, defenseman Zdeno Chara and forwards Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Krejci. Two Maple Leafs players have done so: defenseman Jake Gardiner and forward Nazem Kadri. Chara (0-4--4 in 12 GP) is set to tie an NHL record by playing in his 13th career Game 7, joining all-time co-leaders Patrick Roy and Scott Stevens.
